That is one hell of a beautiful looking Start menu with those glyph-icons. And nice enhancement for disabling those resource hogging XAML beasts. What a pity that normal people don't notice how rewriting the OS in XAML makes it worse than fast C/C++ code.

Alright, I got it! It works fine in WX-162, it took me awile to realize how to disable those ugly glyph icons... OR, if it would be posible to have them, but in a much better design quality (that will be awesome).

Personaly, I prefer the user picture in rectangle shape, but like anything else, maybe giving the option of a round one would please some/more people.

I've noticed, also, the choise between pressing "Win" key and "Win + Ctrl" keys are limited to basically two options. Perhaps, if possible, it should be one more: showing the original Win 10 menu.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but for me clicking on the "Settings" didn't work at all, I was just getting an error message saying that there is not assign action for that particular choise.

So far, so good. I'm actually a proud registered owner of the previous version of StartIsBack, and I've tried some other alternatives for Start Menu replacement. But, the best turned out to be StartIsBack. Therefore, I'm gonna keep going with my choice, regardless of getting SiB++ for free as an upgrade or not.

I'm not sure if there is anything being worked on some other options regarding Aero Glass, what will really be nice would be to have the transparency applied to the title bar as well. But maybe I dream too much, it's just a wish.

Anyway, thanks a lot for all good work, dedication and for giving us a much appreciated option of an reasonable alternative to M$ stuberness. THX!

Is it possible for you guys to add the feature to make the whole start menu a different colour? So where the "apps" are in the start menu the usual colour is white but is it possible to make a feature to change it to like black and the font colour to white? Hopefully I'm not complicating things, love it anyways! Keep doing great stuff like this!

I don't know how popular this will be, but I like the idea of live tiles anchored to the right but without cortana and web results and the like. A live tile for calendar/email would be of interest to me - and I'm sure there are plenty of people who would want stocks/facebook/etc.

Running almost fine on Windows 10 10166, only downside is it has removed the windows modern UI apps list from the start menu, so ive now no access to the store, edge or games which ive downloaded from the store, is there a way to bring this back and possibly add a feature in the options menu to remove it for people who dont want to see the modern UI apps ?

Its ok, cancel that, found it, the folder in the start menu is now called start apps.
